Saban said they were still in the fact-gathering process in the case stemming from a March 18 fight on a Texas beach.

"Once we have a better understanding of what happened," Saban said, "we will make a determination as to what needs to be done in terms of the appropriate course of action moving forward."

Thompson is one of four men wanted in the beating of an 18-year old that resulted in several broken facial bones and a major concussion, KBMT-TV reported Thursday evening. Alabama was on spring break at the time of the incident.
